It means a lot more than 30: 65 dollars!!! And just for the upgrade. It is 100
bucks if you have not previous Century or Tiger versions. Too much. Upgrade
price is around 50% more expensive than the equivalent rebel 11 package upgrade
and this one is far superior in features. Think that Millenium went too far.
